About Us
We are an applied AI lab building end-to-end software agents. We're the makers of Devin, the first AI software engineer. Our team is extremely talent-dense. Among our founding team, we have world-class competitive programmers, former founders, and leaders from companies at the cutting edge of AI including Scale AI, Palantir, Cursor, Waymo, Tesla, Lunchclub, Modal, Google DeepMind, and Nuro.
Building Devin is just the first step—our hardest challenges still lie ahead. If you’re excited to solve some of the world’s biggest problems and build AI that can reason on real-world tasks, apply to join us.
We're looking for a talented Partner Director to join us on our mission to build the future of software engineering with a focus on building our partnerships with the largest Consulting Firms in the world — McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company, Kearney, and their peers.
About Us
Cognition is the team behind Devin, the world's first AI software engineer.
Today, the two primary forms of AI coding tools are IDEs and agents. Engineers naturally want both: the IDE for when you want to make each decision yourself, with AI-assisted speedups, and agents to delegate complete tasks asynchronously. Our product suite is uniquely capable of tackling the pair.
Our maniacal focus on serving the world's most innovative companies and largest enterprises has led Gartner to name us a "Leader" in the Magic Quadrant. Customers like Goldman Sachs, Mercedes Benz, NuBank, Ramp, Citi, Dell, Cisco, Palantir, and ServiceNow trust us to help them transform their businesses.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Highlights:
- Cognition $48B fundraise and continued growth
- Goldman Sachs Devin Case Study
- Scott Wu The Wu Tapes Colossus Deep Dive
- Russell Kaplan and Scott Wu on American Optimist
What You’ll Do
As a Channel Director, you will be responsible for building Cognition’s partner ecosystem from the ground up — sourcing, recruiting, enabling, and activating partners that drive meaningful revenue for Cognition’s platform.
You will create partnerships from a standing start and turn them into partner-initiated business. This is not a maintenance role but rather a hunter/farmer role. You will define the strategy, build the program, support deals, and help close new business alongside our partners.
You’ll work closely with sales, but also engineering, product, and marketing to build a high-leverage partner engine that accelerates Cognition’s growth and expands Devin’s reach into the world’s most ambitious technology organizations.
What You’ll Bring
- Insanely high adaptability and a deep passion for the (somewhat chaotic) early stages of company building.
- Relentless drive – Hunger to dream up, plan, and execute a winning strategy for your territory.
- Boundless curiosity and ability to learn quickly - the market dynamics in this space change daily!
- Deep customer empathy, we’re building long-term relationships and that requires always putting our customers first.
- The exceptional technical expertise required to become a master of our products and a trusted advisor on your customers' AI strategy.
- Team player – We win and lose with our incredible Product, Engineering, and GTM peers.
